Jackie Schletter is a Lowcountry nature photographer who enjoys exploring the essence of her subjects, often birds, using her creative style of artful photography and post processing. Her award-winning photographs are regularly juried into exhibitions in the US and abroad. Her awards this year include the 2024 American Photographic Artists Conceptual Category, American Society of Media Photographers Best of 2024, Honorable Mention in the 2024 International Photographic Awards, and most recently two category winners in the 2024 FotoNostrum Julia Margaret Cameron Award for Women Photographers.
In her presentation, among other topics, she will cover:
• Creating artful images using your camera settings and simple post processing techniques that do not require Photoshop.
• Making your images tangible – How to bring your photographs to life when there are so many print media choices! She will touch on metal, paper, acrylic, canvas, and traditional matting and framing, and will discuss how to choose which might be best for each specific image.
• Getting creative without relying on complicated technical methods. Exploring how and when to save ‘imperfect shots’ to see which creative directions they might lead you towards.
You can learn more about Jackie and see more of her work on her website or on Instagram @lowcountry_nature. This presentation will appeal to photographers of all levels as well as to bird enthusiasts. We hope you can join us on January 16.
